The Oregon Department of Justice immediately appealed to the state Supreme Court asking for Raschio’s order to be overturned. Hours before Measure 114 was supposed to take effect, the justices declined to consider the appeal. Days later, Raschio extended his order. “Plaintiffs show implementation of BM 114 would … cause an irreparable harm to gun owners and those seeking to purchase firearms for self-defense,” Raschio wrote in a Dec. 15 order granting a preliminary injunction. “Any deprivation of a constitutional right, even temporarily, constitutes an irreparable injury.” ---- Good news for the good guys.
In an ideal USA-politicians who pass anti gun laws that violate the constitution would be liable personally for civil damages pursuant to 42 USC Sec 1983. There should be no sovereign immunity or "qualified immunity" for such violations.
